Actor Channing Tatum was forced to look back on his own experiences as an exotic dancer as he made the upcoming film “Magic Mike.”

“It was very humbling,” said Tatum, who co-scripted the movie with Steven Soderbergh.

Stripper is a former career that Tatum shares with a number of fellow Hollywood celebrities, but very few of them are men.

“Female stripping is so much different than male stripping because males are sort of going making fools out of themselves,” he said. “We’re not sexy whatsoever. The more clownish you are, the more entertaining you are.”
